General coordinate invariance and conformal invariance in nonrelativistic physics: Unitary Fermi gas
D. T. Son, M. Wingate
We show that the Lagrangian for interacting nonrelativistic particles can be coupled to an external gauge field and metric tensor in a way that exhibits a nonrelativistic version o…
Phase diagram of a cold polarized Fermi gas
D. T. Son, M. A. Stephanov
We propose a phase diagram for a cold polarized atomic Fermi gas with zero-range interaction. We identify four main phases in the plane of density and polarization: the superfluid…
Effective Lagrangian and Topological Interactions in Supersolids
D. T. Son
We construct a low-energy effective Lagrangian describing zero-temperature supersolids. Galilean invariance imposes strict constraints on the form of the effective Lagrangian. We i…
Quantum Anomalies in Dense Matter
D. T. Son, A. R. Zhitnitsky
We consider the effects of quantum anomalies involving the baryon current for high-density matter. In the effective Lagrangian, the anomaly terms describe the interaction of three…
Viscosity in Strongly Interacting Quantum Field Theories from Black Hole Physics
P. Kovtun, D. T. Son, A. O. Starinets
The ratio of shear viscosity to volume density of entropy can be used to characterize how close a given fluid is to being perfect. Using string theory methods, we show that this ra…
Universal Properties of Two-Dimensional Boson Droplets
H. -W. Hammer, D. T. Son
We consider a system of N nonrelativistic bosons in two dimensions, interacting weakly via a short-range attractive potential. We show that for N large, but below some critical val…
